Wood Child and Hidden Forest Mother
United Kingdom2020animated10'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2020)
There is a hunt in progress, more and more animals are falling dead. Only a little boy is resistant to the hunter's shots. A bullet doesn't kill him, but opens a tunnel to a magical forest in his belly. This is how a psychedelic journey in a time loop, full of bizarre animals, absurd events and surprising metamorphoses, begins. A surreal story about interconnections between the nature and man in which a murderer becomes a life-giver, a man becomes a woman and a grey forest turns into a rainbow land.
